CURRENT MISSION

See and do as much as I can before I get too damn old!

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back and stand-up guy who enjoys traveling around and experiencing everything the world has to offer! I love meeting new people and sharing stories about anything and everything.

I graduated college in 2011 and worked as a graphic designer for a while but now do sales & marketing for a kombucha company. I love all kinds of art, especially native arts from other countries. Wherever I travel to I always like to pick up some curios from local artists selling their stuff.

I am based in New York but also spend a lot of time out in Los Angeles. Traveling is a very important part of my life as the experiences I've gained through traveling have shaped me greatly.

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed during my cross-country trip from New York to Los Angeles. Had many rewarding experiences and am certainly glad to have done it!

Interests

I like to stay active by playing basketball and doing yoga. I also love music and jam out on my acoustic guitar from time to time. Other interests include trying new restaurants/bars, hanging out over some brews, making fresh juices & smoothies (something I picked up from living in LA haha), listening to nostalgic 90s songs, looking at art of different cultures around the world, etc.
